I took an ordinary box
As empty as can be
I filled it with a special gift
And wrapped it carefully.
But please don’t ever open it
Just leave the ribbon tied
And hold it tightly near your heart
Because my love for you is inside!

The tag for the poem can be decorated, and cut out into any shape you like. Use glitter and markers to decorate the poem tag, as well as the text of the poem. Attach the tag to the gift box using ribbon.
